Cold hands and well laid plans

This weekend for me marked the return of the craggin' season! Since everything in Scotland is mostly covered in snow a cheeky trip south of the boarder was required. The forecast was not initially that great which meant everything was nicely saturated.. But to keep it interesting we ditched the E grades and opted for the mountains!

Day 1 - A rainy day in Langdale; Pavey Ark via Cresent Climb and Gwynne's Chimney

The alpine-esque start of Crescent Climb on Pavey Ark, Langdale

The gopping first pitch of Gwynne's Chimney

Day 2 - The big one! A massive day out in a belter of a spot; Grey Crags, Buttermere.

Big drops, numb fingers and a long walk-in defiantly made this a grand day out!
